SERIAL MOM.

I would always rather be us than them, every fucking day, no matter how angry or scared I get trading our humanity for the feeble hope that proximity to power will protect us is not fucking worth it we all die as we live and their picture of what "success" looks like is truly so fucking bleak

ICYMI: I’m moderating a Q&A on 9/26 with Linus O’Brien, the director of STRANGE JOURNEY at the Nuart! My lifelong obsession with THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is coming in clutch! Get your tickets here: booking.landmarktheatres.com/login/1e6dc9...

I love watching @horrorgirlprobs.bsky.social conduct interviews, especially for kickass movies like SHELBY OAKS (directed by my Ohio homie Chris Stuckmann) and starring such talents like Sarah Durn and Camille Sullivan (SHORESY HIVE, RIIIIIISE!)

Watching The Brady Bunch and was rather floored by the episode "Double Parked." It's about protesting to save the public park and the turmoil of when corporate decision-makers force you to choose between fighting for what's right or losing your job. This would be considered "too political" today.

Conservatives are trying to reclaim “guncle” and I cannot stop laughing.

This movie rules so, so hard. I adore movies that don't run away from the casual oppressive cruelty of small towns and loves its characters even if they're hot messes. One of Juno Temple's finest performances to boot.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

What's the word for when you're filled with so much fury that you can hear your heartbeat?

Comedians are not the canaries in the coal mine. Sex workers already were, and a lot of y'all weren't listening.

I wrote about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show and the media’s capitulation to state censorship. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today is a great day to remind everyone that @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social and I wrote a book about SLEEPAWAY CAMP, its unintended place as a foundational queer horror text, and how conversations surrounding the film have fluctuated over the years. diediebooks.com/products/sle...

Hey horror fans! Everyone's favorite @barbaracrampton.bsky.social is appearing in a film with some of the best comedians currently working today, and they're raising funds to help get the movie across the finish line! SUPPORT TRULY INDEPENDENT CINEMA! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rut...

We talk a lot about the media literacy crisis, but the freakout conservatives are having over Kimmel is a result of a straight-up literacy crisis. They fundamentally do not comprehend what he actually said and are operating emotionally off of their incorrect interpretation.

Everything is Gamergate and no corporation will ever learn any lesson from it

And this is why RT scores cannot be trusted. 🥰

I gave myself a charley horse getting into my rideshare.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

I cannot believe these fascists have forced my hand, and I'm out here defending Jimmy Kimmel. www.slashfilm.com/1971533/abc-...

I hate that it took me bitching on social media for KP to respond to me about the fuckery I had to go through today. I got further thanks to @'ing them at the nazi bar than I did talking to someone on site, in person. All these companies care about are optics, I swear to god.

For any journalist wants to write an interesting story about the intersection of online sex work and scammers: There’s an INSANE amount of impersonation accounts that try to scam our fans out of money, and TikTok and IG make it nearly impossible for us to report and remove these accounts.

Got to talk with Hamish Linklater and ask him who he was channeling for Cipher on #GenV season 2. A wild conversation to have on 9/10, I'll tell you that. www.slashfilm.com/1971383/hami...

You cannot be in this business if you can't handle rejection. Whether you're in year one, 10, or 20, you will continue to get rejected more often than you're not. It's just part of being a writer.

Oh hey, the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards are back, baby...and we've got an out of this world show for you this year! Check out this exclusive from Variety, revealing the details on our amazing hosts, the full list of presenters, and more! variety.com/2025/awards/...

"He's a leftist." "He's a groyper." "No, he's a centrist." "He's trans." "No one is trans." "No, the roommate's trans." The transphobia has been there this whole time. It doesn’t matter what the story is or what fascists believe. What matters is what we are going to do about it.

RIP

She's raised $710 so far but needs $2000 to leave, please share, Nour is pregnant and needs to leave asap.

I wrote about the firing of Alan Sepinwall, which is awful. And I tied it into what's happening all over in the media, why it's scary & what we can do to help. I used my words, but it's definitely Hulk Mo dialed up to 11, if that's a thing you would like to experience: www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

Got to do a cool thing with Nate Torrence for work today, which meant I finally got to tell him that the way he holds his wine glass in SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE (which the film never acknowledges) makes me laugh my ass off every time. Turns out he came up with this bit on his own. Hell yeah lol.

A friend of mine back in Ohio lost her job for not properly mourning a fascist who preached wiping people like her off the planet. This is all so fucked.

Adored @gayofthedead.bsky.social’s vulnerable exploration of his relationship with THE LONG WALK and how Judy Greer is the key to its evolution.

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

“Go Birds. Fuck Ice. Free Palestine.” God damn it, Hannah Einbinder I can only be SO in love!!!

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

If #TheLongWalk doesn’t get nominated for the inaugural Best Achievement in Casting Oscar, I’ll eat my f*cking shoes. www.slashfilm.com/1963191/the-...

They should invent a head that never has migraines.

Completely fell in love with D(e)AD, the truly independent comedy from @izball.bsky.social & her extremely talented family about a young woman whose dead dad haunts everyone in the family except her. If it's screening in a theater near you, seek it out. www.slashfilm.com/1965604/2025...

I got that dog on me. Thank you to Katelyn/Stab Crab at June Bug Tattoo in Eagle Rock. 🥰

hi, cis folks! the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction. it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this. contact info below.🧵⬇️

This week is another episode that reminds us why we do what we do. WHAT A GIRL WANTS could be written off as a fluffy teen movie, but there are a lot of interesting themes being explored regarding assimilation, conservatism, and sacrificing your identity to keep the peace.

Every major publication in this country needs to have dedicated staffers or correspondents reporting on gaming, streamers, podcasts, and TikTok. Not as a once in a while thing. As standard beats. These are massive segments of American culture. No excuses for it anymore.

A bucket list interview happened today.

A lot of oppressed people today are seeing our "allies" shed more tears for those who would murder us than those of us who have been/would've been murdered by them.

Stop acting like there’s anything you can do to make sure Dad doesn’t get mad and hit you. Dad is going to hit you. You could clean your room top to bottom, get all A’s, cook him dinner and mow the lawn; if he wants to hit you, he’s going to fucking hit you.

I just keep applying for jobs and getting no bites. Will produce your film and television for food. I have two mouths to feed (mine and Turtle).

i understand that our attention is divided as a nation but i do need everyone to know that henry winkler is on a fishing trip
